Dear Friends.
I'm sorry I have not kept up with this blog. I guess life got in the way :) But a few of you guys have been asking me if I'm going to Ballet Magnificat This year. My plan is NOT to go this year...and focus more on other things.
Several Of you guys have been asking if I'm still dancing. The answer to that is YES. I have moved this year to a dance school called ADT. Alabama Dance Theater. Its an amazing place to dance. the teaching is very good. and I'm really thankful to have a place to dance.
God has been good. As I'm dancing at ADT there are several challenges, First of all My back is still not working right. ( still hurts if i dance a lot.) The other is the girls at ADT. I haven't met so far any girls that are Christian so its a challenge to stand up for what you Believe. And to turn the other cheek when they are following after the " world " But with Gods Help I STAND.
Life has changed a lot for me. These past few years and even months. But I'm learning that if i put my whole life into Gods hands. its all going to be OK.
So Please Be praying for me.. concerning dance. and for direction on what God wants me to do.
Give Thanks to the Lord for He is good, His love endures Forever

A Trial.
Hey Guys !
I guess its about time I post something...what do you guys think ? !
Well I guess I'll tell you what has been happening with my dance life, I don't know if you guys remember or even know about it, but a few days before I went to Ballet Mag. I was in a car wreck. I was in pain, yes, but thought since God brought everything together and I was able to go, Why not go? So I went. As the few days went by I was in so much pain that I had to sit out and watch class...BTW that is SO hard to do when all you want to be doing is dancing, but with God's help I stayed, sitting, knowing that if I didn't: ONE, I probably would have made a fool out of myself...because I couldn't do it. TWO, probably the teachers would have taken my head off :) if I danced and they saw I was in pain. So instead of dancing, I watched and stayed out with the rest of the injured people. So as I was there, my body wasn't feeling the best, but with Gods help I DID it. I made it through!
When I came back to Alabama, :) my mom said right away we have to make an appointment with the chiropractor. I wasn't too thrilled about it, but I went. So he checked me..and tells me he is going to put me in therapy, and that I should slow down on dancing, it's aggravating my body. So I'm thinking, Why in the world did we come here? I can keep dancing, whats the big deal?
I still didn't like what he wanted me to do for a whole month, but I started going to therapy for my back and neck. After I was going for a few weeks, the therapy ladies said...I need to do it for a few more weeks. MY question was, How long until I don't have to come back? :) Just a few weeks ago my chiropractor took me off therapy says it was only aggravating it. and he didn't know why my pain level was where it was. He said by the time people go through therapy for that long they should be on the way to recovering, and I was going downhill. :( So he suggested doing an MRI to see what is really going on inside, so that's where I'm at today: Not really dancing, taking a few weeks off ... :(
I did teach class a few weeks ago. which BTW was amazing !!!!
So I guess I'm also asking for prayer. Prayer that nothing is big going on inside that can't be fixed. Because dancing is a part of me. And I guess what I have been learning through this is....even though I might have to stop dancing, its going to be OK. God is taking it away (for now anyway) for a reason, and I only have to trust Him in what He is doing, 'cause He knows what's going to happen even this minute, as I'm struggling wondering why this one thing that I love so much has to be taken from me. But I guess if I put my trust in my Lord Jesus Christ and let Him be the "driver" of my journey, I have a feeling the journey is going to go a whole lot smoother. What do you think, Guys ?
This verse has been on my mind for a few weeks now.
Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
Thank You for reading.

More Pictures !
Hey Everyone.
A few more pictures from Ballet Magnificat! and the ride home! Ballet Magnificat! this year had a lot of challenging moments, but with God's help I got through it. Dancing was great, I loved every minute of it! God was faithful to help me get through the Bible Studies I was leading. God showed me a lot of things and I was able to open my heart and listen to what He had to say. I'm very glad God doesn't just give up on us. Thank you for all who helped me get to Ballet Magnificat!
Give Thanks to the Lord For He is Good His Love Endures Forever.

Leaving on Saturday
Hi Everyone.
Thank you for all your prayers !
I can't believe I'm really leaving on Saturday. I can't wait...but also I'm scared, I will be teaching Bible study for 20 girls and I don't know how I'm going to do it but I pray that God will give me the words to teach and help me be able to be the person God wants me to be. Some of these girls come from hard backgrounds, so just be praying that I will have the strength to say what God wants me to say.
Tomorrow Mission Life begins ! I hope and pray that we will be a picture of God's love, It's going to be a fun week serving people,
Its amazing how sometimes God works things together. Last year while I was doing mission life I asked God. " Please, God, let me be able to do Mission Life next year" but by then I already told myself I was going to Ballet Mag for a whole month. Well it looks like God had other plans. He provided a way for me to go to Ballet Mag and also do Mission Life. even though part of me feels sad not to be going for a month...I am happy that I get to be a part of Mission Life this year, and I know God has something to show me through it.
Trust in the Lord with ALL your Heart
